Family a la Carte

My mind is nearly consumed with the fact that Eli's first birthday is fast approaching. As such, here I am at 3am thinking about planning a birthday party. The invitations are designed and the first part is printed out, but we still haven't decided on a place to have the party. We'd love to just have something casual in our home with all of the family, but it just isn't quite large enough to hold everyone comfortably. I'm not a fan of most public rental places with their hard tables and chairs and too small enclosed spaces where you can't move or mingle with anyone, let alone see what's happening. I'm afraid that we're going to have to rent somewhere, but it's going to be tricky to find something just right. That's my mission for (later) today.
In the meantime, I'm simply at a loss for how quickly the last year has gone. He just used to be so tiny and now . . . just wow.

In other family news, my sister just opened her Etsy shop!! I'm so super excited for her & wish her all the best in her venture! Besides, it's always nice to have someone to share your obsession with! ;)
Off to dream up cake flavors & goody bags!
